Waiter on the Way Gets Smart(er)

April 9th, 2012

Waiter on the Way purchased its second smart car recently.  Here’s the scoop:

Does a car need a rear seat when the vast majority of vehicles carry just one person? Isn’t a hood a waste of space when the engine can be accommodated at the rear? Is a clutch pedal really necessary when an automated manual transmission is better suited to urban driving? Is size really a measure of safety when an innovative safety concept offers exceptional protection in a vehicle measuring just 8.84 ft. in length? All valid questions in an ever-evolving world that only smart can answer.

The Penske Automotive Group distributed smart cars in the U.S. until June 30, 2011. On July 1, 2011, smart became part of a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz USA. Mercedes-Benz USA has responsibility for Mercedes-Benz vehicles as well as Sprinter Vans in the U.S.

Most importantly, all smart fortwos come packed with standard safety features that are usually reserved for luxury vehicles. These include the protective “tridion safety cell,” developed especially for the smart fortwo to help ensure crash compatibility with larger passenger cars, electronic stability program (esp®), anti-lock braking system (abs), and eight airbags, just to name a few.

Look for us on the streets of Fort Wayne!

Fill a can, feed a family!

March 26th, 2012

Every week, more than 21,000 people in our community go hungry. That’s a big number. So, a group of local companies has now joined forces to help Community Harvest Food Bank to make a difference in the lives of neighbors, friends and families.

change-a-life

Pick up one of the 10,000 available Change A Life Project cans. Set it on your desk, your kitchen counter, the cup holder of your car, wherever. Then, start filling it up with your loose change. Once you’ve got a full can, take it to any of  the 8 Grabill Bank drop-off locations. Your can will be emptied, and 100 percent of your donation will go to Community Harvest Food Bank. Your change will go directly to feeding the hungry in our community. A little change goes a long way.

Taco Bell debuts Doritos Locos Tacos

March 18th, 2012
Taco Bell launched its new, long-awaited Doritos Locos Tacos on March 8th.

Sporting a shell made of nacho cheese-flavored Doritos, the item is filled with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce and Cheddar cheese. The suggested retail price is $1.29, or $1.69 for a Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme with reduced-fat sour cream and diced tomatoes.

The Supreme version is also available as part of a Big Box Meal with a Burrito Supreme, Crunchy Taco and a medium drink. Those counting calories can order the Doritos Locos Taco Fresco Style, with 140 calories, about 30 calories less than the regular version.

Have you tried Taco Bell's newest menu item yet?

Have you tried Taco Bell's newest menu item yet?

Company officials hope the new product, along with other menu upgrades, will turn around sales that sank in 2011 following a lawsuit that questioned the quality of the chain’s seasoned beef. The lawsuit was later dropped, but sales dipped 2 percent for the year.

Taco Bell chief executive Greg Creed said in a statement that the partnership between Frito-Lay, the maker of Doritos chips, and the 5,600-unit Taco Bell offered “a flavor pairing just waiting to happen.”

And more flavors are coming.

Creed said the chain plans to introduce a Cool Ranch Doritos-flavored shell in the fall. Fans have already begun requesting other flavors, he added.

“With the wide range of Doritos flavors available, the possibilities for this product platform are endless,” said Creed.
